Fifty-six percent of the population in Monterey County is of Latino origin. In our public schools, 74 of students are of Latino background.
Hispanic Heritage month ends Oct. 15, to celebrate this and other nifty facts and figures about Latinos in the county and the county, the Monterey County Board of Education invited over Roberto Melendez, chair of the media committee of the League United of Latin American Citizens to receive a resolution to the effect. Trustee David Serena was in charge of the honors. Thanks, Marci McFadden, MCOE spokeswoman extraordinaire, for sending the picture along.
For the record, Mr. Melendez is not related to yours truly.
For the record, I'm of Latino origin. Who knew, huh?
